CITY NOTES.

The j., T. & TX. w. Railway have
placed tickets to all points on its line on
sale at Kersting's Ticket Agency, where
schedules, maps, rates and all in forma-
ton necessary will be furnished travellers
over that line.
Yesterday the clouds hung very low,
and everything indicated rain, but it
never came. 1t will no doubt rain in a
day or two, and it will not come amiss,
al this section is very dry and the els
terms contain but little water.
Yesterday the &C. Club" WAS organ
lied on Lemon street. Pierre Pratt was
elected President, and Mr.. Vatterlin Sec
rotary. No bald headed man will be al
lowed to join, and the proceedings of the
Club promise to be of lively nature.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dixie will appear in one
Of their characteristic entertainments,
on the evening of March 1st The press
speaks in very high praise of this COM
pany, and they will probably be greeted
by q full house on their appearance
here.
Messrs. Griffin & Parker have Just re-
ceived a large lot of the new patent ham
merless Smith & Wesson revolvers, W hich
are the neatest things in the way Of a
revolver ever seen. They also have a
large stock of revolvers and guns of
other makers, which they are making a
speciality of.
The Putnam House is chock-a block
with the missing tourists" and the
house is taxed to its utmost capacity to
care for all that seek it's shelter for enter
tainment. The season is at its height at
the Putnam, and new guests are ready
to take the place of the old ones as they
depart for other scenes.
Captain Howard is building what
promises to be a very handsome steam
yacht, when completed. The boat is
being built on River street, next to the
river, and is well under way. The model
seems to be a good one, and in size she is
in breadth. The hull will be ready to be
launched in a short time.
Mr.. John Anderson, the ma mayer of
the attractive display of oranges at the
Putnam House, gave us call last night.
He informs us that the people Of Or
Observation-Disclosures will soon build
horse railroad from that place to connect
with the st. Johns Il Halifax Railroad,
which will make the rich hammocks of
that section more accessible to the trav-
cling public.
Yesterday a portion of the new outfit
for THE News arrived, and the remainder
is expected in a few days. Just as soon
as this material can be put in place, the
paper will be enlarged and the Associa
ted Press news, just from the wires, will
be printed. In it's new dress we hope to
make THE NEWS the handsomest and
best printed paper in the State, as well
as the newsiest and most readable.

Another Cabinet Maria ge.

Philadel phia Times.
The general vagueness of the rumors
respecting Secretary Bayard's alleged
matrimonial intentions has been par
TALLY dissipated by one correspondent
who names and describes the prospective
bride of the Secretary of State. The lady
is said to be Miss Sophie ID. Markoe
and she has been clerk in the State
Department for six or seven years. The
register OF the Department shows she
was born i'm the District of Columbia and
she is known to be the daughter of q
widow who lives quietly, with another
daughter, nearly opposite Admiral Por-
ter's residence. In person she is tall.
with an almost faultless figure, blue
eyes and golden hair" Her age is said
to be a little over thirty, although no
department register vOuches for this.
When she entered the State Department
it was as a 5000 clerk, but through her
efficiency and attention to duty she was
advanced to a 81, 200 desk. Notwith-
standing the fact that the two sis
tiers rely upon their positions for support,
they are highly descended and have al
ways managed to move in the most arts
tocratic circles of the capital. At the last
Presidential reception 1t was noticed that
Miss Sophie was present as one of the
specially invited guests.

PineappIes aud COcoanuts.

Last night we had the pleasure of
meeting DIR. j. Westcott, President of
the Atlantic Coast Canal Company, who
had just arrived from Indian River. His
company has succeeded in cutting
through from the Matanzas River into
the Halifax River and out through TO
Mosquito Inlet. A channel has also been
cut through the rocks at the mouth Of
Mosquito Inlet into the Indian River.
At the haulOver, a distance of fifteen
hundred feet through the rock was

The Doctor went down on the little

ever to go through, about ten days ago,
and she made the trip in perfect safety.
Among the Doctors baggage was a
bunch of green cocoanuts, and he reports
that there is an immense crop on the
trees. He also informs us that the out

promising indeed, and spoke of one man
who would have at least 24O,O pine

Ben Wade's Profanity.

A. b. johnson in the Aug. Cosmopolitan.
Ii should go without. saying that Chas.
Summer was never guilty of profanity.
Yet he was tolerant of those of his asso-
ciates who, like Senator Wade, when
righteously indignant. would drop with
great vigor into the vernacular OF his
early day. Once when the Senator from
Ohio had made the air sulphurous and
lurid with his picturesque profanity over
a peculiarly exasperating and disastrous
performance In ncgrophobia of one of our
generals, milk.and water sort of person
who snecred, In his absence. at old Ben's
language, was checked by Summers
stare, and by his saying:
Gould you have given better express
ion of our opinion?"
but the oaths," was the reply.
"Still IL IL had TO be done,, said the
Senator, you will admit that it was well
done.
''But the oaths, reitcred the dilettante.
"Ah," said Sumner" they are of the
kind that my Uncle Toby said "the Re
cording Angel will blot out with a teal"
And then he added refiectively: But in
old Ben's case ii will be rather hard on
the lachryInal glands.
In philosophizing on the matter; the
Senator admitted that In all countries and
in all ages mankind seemed to feel the
need of expletives. The classics were
full of instances. But he drew the line at
''the devil, as did another, who intcnsiH-
ed his exclamation by multiplication, as
ted devils, fifty devils, or under pecu-
culiar stress, "a million devils" The
Senator abhorred swearing in the abstract
as neither brave, polite, nor wise.
